The Real Quileute Tribe Legends

Story of how the Quileute people came to be. Notice the cool background music?

[@RuamaGomes]

i just love these legends... everything is so magical and unbelievable!!

[@braywyatt583]

Ruama Gomes if only it was real 😢

[@nomadwerewolf]

The legend runs as follows. After a battle, only an injured young boy survives. A she-wolf finds the injured child and nurses him back to health. He subsequently impregnates the wolf which then gives birth to ten half-wolf, half-human boys. One of these, Ashina, becomes their leader and founds the Ashina clan that ruled the Göktürks and other Turkic nomadic empires.

Cites?

[@habibahmed3191]

Can you kindly provide the sources for that amazing legend please?

[@thafmsnasty]

Grew up in Fork. Huey Simmons is my Uncle. His parents t were Pat & Earl Penn in La Push. Spent many times at their home growing up. Thank you! I remember you both from Quileute Days and at the school.

[@jeaninecalderon121]

My sister said who are you. Earl is her dad

[@thafmsnasty]

[@jeaninecalderon121]

Sorry I must have a brain fart. Lol. I did work at the tribal school for 11 years. Then moved away to Anaheim. Was nice to see Lynn here at Elders Week. She was making a drum. I haven't seen her since she played basketball with me in high school. 1983.

[@jeaninecalderon121]

If I saw your pic I probably would remember. Lol

[@pesezeln]

Can you tell me more about this legend? Do you have Instagram?

[@vrvralu]

A lot of people don't like the Twilight books, but I love that the author used a real tribe. The stories are amazing, both the real ones and the ones in the book.

[@xwrtk]

The entire black family in the movies is made of all native Americans. Taylor Launter is only a little bit native.

[@carlosalbuquerque22]

And she copyrighted their cultural imagery and didn't offer compensation. She's a cunt and so are all who worship her books.

[@clerith]

​@@xwrtk im todays years old to know that taylor lautner got native genes in his blood. so, he is indigenous?

[@xwrtk]

@@clerith Not exactly. It’s pretty low so it doesn’t fully count.

[@jeaninecalderon121]

That's me I dislike it. Ya they used our tribe.

[@TheLulabelle86]

What an interesting story. So nice that people carry family stories down it's so heartwarming

[@MyRorio]

Greetings from Algeria to all these fascinating people. Peace & Love.

[@Qitanatia]

I am a Maori woman from New Zealand my tribe is Ngapuhi, and Ngati Haua, i have been to Quileute an was amazed at how much it looks like my home town in NZ, along with the many traditions and and customs our cultures are very much alike, i would like to learn more :)

[@jeaninecalderon121]

Your welcome to come back. If you do hit me up. I will give you some cedar to make a basket.

[@jeaninecalderon121]

Nice words

[@uphamtimothy]

"Hi'cha kwa" -- "Greetings" in Quileute. What the Quileutes believe in is what is known as totemism. That is the reason why totem poles are so common among the Northwest Coast Native Americans. It is the believe that they are descendants of an animal. Hopefully, we can learn more about the Quileutes, than just from a silly motion picture. How about learning their language, where all their legends are held. When you lose a language, you lose a culture. Let us not lose the Quileute culture

[@krashkb2900]

I love native American legends because 100% of them is truth

[@TheSamuelbest12]

Yes and jesus christ is also real and there's a man in the sky too

[@brockcutright9289]

I seen a light in the woods camping near this land, Forks, La Push area, a place where you are not allowed to have electricity or plumbing. It was a ball of light that radiated for a min and then it slowly "melted like lava" into the ground - that's how it was physically when it went into the ground, like how the lava moved in those retro lamps.

[@marl348]

I love hem legends👌🏻👌🏻

[@Dank951]

@TwilightAtLaPush I'll be visiting La Push in the winter, I hear it's extremely breathtaking during that season. Can't wait! :)

[@jeaninecalderon121]

They have a storm pkg at the resort. Buy two days get one free.

[@cmpatel92]

@TwilightAtLaPush I have taken an interest in the Quileute Nation. Yes i was originally aware of the Quileute due to Twilight, but i have wanted to delve deeper than the books. It frightens me that there is the possibility of losing such a rich culture. I am glad there are those who attempt to preserve the culture. I hope that Meyer's attention to the Quileute has brought the attention of readers to this tribe and perhaps create avid interest to document and preserve the culkure and traditions.

[@lucyk2634]

I agree with you. It also frighten me to loose such a rich culture. I want to go to their forests and lands and discover what ought to be forgotten and make sure it isn't. Maybe even bring to the light of wider population all stories.

[@LaniMac05]

Wow that's awesome!

[@charlesw1263]

Daniel Smolko go online and look up the Legend of the Quileute

[@haroldwhite5761]

Cool stuff. Wish I could hear more about the time 'when time changed'!

[@miemagmie]

somebody who visited usa told me about your tribe and your tradition at the beach when the young people bring rafts with food into the water and you sing songs and celebrate and wait for the whales. I hope i can see this someday by myself. May Outsiders can see this?

[@jeaninecalderon121]

Anyone is welcome to attend Welcoming the Whales. It's in march or April. There is a few videos just search Welcome the Whales Quileute Tribal School

[@deepachuphal3383]

[@josephsullivan9106]

[@slade9088]

my religion is true i grew up on my religion....Native americans all day...my mom come from this tribe

[@AninaNilsen]

that's pretty cool

[@williamoconnell1233]

Who knows, my maternal grandfather might be an descendant of this tribe, and his wolf shifting gene might be dormant, and passed it down to me, and it suddenly became active again after many years.

[@JD-et1jz]

William O'Connell shut up 😂😂

[@neshabaker6196]

😂💀🥴🤦🏽‍♀️

[@omegaglitch21]

I’d like to hear 110% version of the legend.

[@miemagmie]

@TwilightAtLaPush Thank you for your effort. I´m happy to met you again and I wish you and your family all the best too. See You

Thank you very interesting

[@veroniquebos3187]

But in twilight people changes in wolves and the lady says that wolves changes people ???

[@Hanibaltherogue]

Guess she is wrong than, i mean if thats the other way IN Twilight... WTF...-.-

[@briannaeastman1995]

Veronique Bos but twilight is just a movie

[@ellfry7421]

Veronique Bos she means that that wolf comes out and either makes us shift

[@briannaeastman1995]

Twilight isn't real it's fiction there is a guy named kwàti and that's our language for the Creator and he changes us into people because a long time ago we were once wolves

[@ghg76vhfyg11]

True story

[@danielledarden5611]

cool tribue

[@jeanhammond2079]

I loved the story ❤

[@xwrtk]

The twilight movie series actually used real native Americans in the cast besides Taylor Launter who is only a little bit native in real life. All the actors were from tribes on the east coast but they did try to accurate about a tribe on the pacific coast.

[@habibahmed3191]

The actor who played Seth Clearwater is actually asian and not native american.

[@wydking2483]

Cant wait to get to this place

[@kaskew22]

I was just wondering where I could find a credit for this short film? and possibly others like it? I'm currently working on a research paper about indigenous representations in Twilight, so if anyone can help me out with this it would be great! thank you!

[@haleyguthrie3113]

This lady is a direct force. Taught is oral traditions and she is an elder.
